To
revise the ASEBA DSM-oriented scales for DSM-5 criteria, experts
from 30 societies identified ASEBA items that are very consistent
with DSM-5 criteria for behavioral, emotional, social, or thought
problems differing from those of DSM-IV.

For
ages 1½-5, the new Autism Spectrum Problems scale
comprises items identified by the experts as being very consistent
with DSM-5 criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder. For ages 6-18
and 18-59, the revised Anxiety Problems scale comprises
age-appropriate items identified by the experts as being very
consistent with DSM-5 criteria for Generalized Anxiety Disorder,
Separation Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, and Specific
Phobia. And for ages 6-18 and 18-59, the revised Somatic Problems
scale comprises age-appropriate items identified by the experts
as being very consistent with DSM-5 criteria for Somatic Symptom
Disorder.

ASEBA
forms are also scored on the following DSM-oriented scales for
which the relevant criteria did not change from DSM-IV to DSM-5:
Depressive Problems, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Problems,
Oppositional Defiant Problems, Conduct Problems, Avoidant Personality
Problems, and Antisocial Personality Problems.

DSM
Guide for the ASEBA. The Guide explains details of
the DSM-oriented scales. It also documents the research basis
for the scales and lists the experts who participated in The DSM-5
Project. To aid practitioners, researchers, and trainees, the
Guide illustrates applications of the DSM-oriented scales in various
contexts.
